Lyrics

Quando vivi navigando
Tutti i porti sembrano lo stesso
E l’inverno taglia le tue vele
Ma io stavo naufragando
Me ne rendo conto solo adesso
Che risento il sangue nelle vene
E sabbia calda sotto me
Apro gli occhi e vedo un’isola
(un'isola)
Forse questa e' la mia isola
(la mia isola)
Che dolce isola e'
Sulle carte non c’e'
Che dolce meta per me
E in cielo batte un sole vero
Che dolce isola sei
Io mai ripartirei
Che dolci notti darai
In pieno mare c’e' un tesoro
Quando vivi navigando
Solo sale ti rimane addosso
La tempesta gonfia le tue vele
Navigando mi domando
Se fuggivo solo da me stesso
Se potevo stare cosi' bene
La risposta adesso c’e'
Ogni uomo cerca un’isola
(un'isola)
Ad un uomo basta un’isola
(la mia isola)
Che dolce isola sei
Io mai ti lascerei
Che dolce acqua mi dai
Ed in petto batte un cuore vero
Che dolce isola sei
Io mai ripartirei
Che dolci notti mi dai
E' in pieno mare il mio tesoro

Lyrics translation

When you live sailing
All ports look the same
And winter cut your sails
But I was sinking
I only realize that now
That I resent the blood in my veins
And hot sand under me
I open my eyes and I see an island
(island)
Maybe this is my island.
(my island)
What a sweet island it is
There's no cards on the cards.
What a sweet destination for me
And in the sky beats a real sun
What a sweet island you are
I would never leave.
What sweet nights you'll give
In the middle of the sea there is a treasure
When you live sailing
Only salt stays on you
The storm inflates your sails
Navigating my wonder
If I only ran away from myself
If I could be so good
The answer now is
Every man looks for an island
(island)
One man only needs an island
(my island)
What a sweet island you are
I would never leave you
What sweet water do you give me
And in the chest beats a true heart
What a sweet island you are
I would never leave.
What sweet nights you give me
My treasure is in the middle of the sea
